The body that sets the rules for international football has approved the use of goal-line technology. The International Football Association Board gave the goal ahead for two systems – one involving cameras and one that uses a sensor1 in the ball. The head of the world football Sepp Blatter said he came round to the idea after England had an important goal disallowed2 during the 2010 World Cup. Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke says the technology could be introduced for the next World Cup in Brazil.
为国际足球制定规则的组织批准使用禁区边线裁判技术。国际足球协会理事会批准使用两个系统,一个涉及摄像机,一个是在球上安装感应器。世界足球主席塞普·布拉特说,之所以想到这个主意,是因为在2010世界杯上英国一个重要的球被误判了。Fifa秘书长瓦尔克说,该技术可用于下一届巴西世界杯上。
"We Fifa have decided3 to use the system at the Club World Cup next December in Tokyo, and that, if it is working, at the Confederations Cup 2013 and the World Cup 2014."
“Fifa决定明年在东京使用这个系统,如果管用,就会在2013联合会杯和2014世界杯上采用。”
The British government has scrapping4 17 major army units to save money. The army will be cut by 20% to just over 8,000 personnel – its lowest level for 200 years. Here's Jonathan Beale.

Over the past decade, the British army has been at war, fighting on two fronts: in Iraq and Afghanistan for long stretches. The smaller army of 2020 won't be big enough to do that. It will be split in two: a reaction force made up of regular troops, highly trained and ready to deploy5 at short notice , and an adaptable6 force that will carry out ceremonial roles, as well as meeting long-term commitments like defending the Falklands. The army of 2020 will be more reliant on reservists , no longer an add-on but an integral part of the army.
过去十年间,英国军队一直在两个战场长期作战,一个是伊拉克,一个是阿富汗。2020年缩减后的军队就无法应付如此作战了。军队将分为两个部分,一个是由常规军组成经过高度训练的反应部队,一旦需要可立即执行任务,一个是适应性部队,将发挥仪式性作用,并发挥诸如捍卫福克兰岛之类的长期任务。2020年的军队将更多地依靠后备军,后备军不再是额外的,而是整个军队的一部分。

French air crash investigators10 have concluded that a combination of human error and technical failures caused the lost of an Air France flight that plunged12 into the Atlantic in 2009. All 228 people on board of flight from Rio de Janerio to Paris were killed. The investigators support highlights faults with the plane's altimeter and air speed sensors13.

"They don't want to die. They are professions, and they are, they've got not enough good training from Air France company. Airbus did not mention that the stall could happen in this situation. The auto-pilot went off by him(it)self, and this was completely unknown for the pilots." Airbus has said it will take all measures to optimize15 air safety.
“他们并不想死,他们是专业人员,法航没有给他们足够的良好培训。空客没有提及这种情况下会失速,自动舵自行其是,而飞行员对此根本不知情。”空客称将采取一切措施来增强飞行安全。

联合国安理会通过一项要求对马里北部伊斯兰武装分子实施制裁的提议。他们在廷巴克图世界遗产处毁掉了几处古墓。Barbara Plett在纽约联合国总部报道。
The resolution expresses deep concern at the increased terrorist threat in the north of Mali and the region due to the presence of al-Qaeda fighters. It calls on member states to submit names of those linked to the group to be added to a UN list of al-Qaeda militants18 targeted by sanctions. It strongly condemns19 the destruction of Muslim shrines20 by the Islamists and says such act of desecration21 could fall under the jurisdiction22 of the International Criminal Court.
